Castaway Cay Snorkel Adventure to the Derelict off of Serenity Bay
WHEN: Sunday May 15, 2005, at 11:00AM
WHERE: Meet at the entrance to Serenity Bay.
WHO: Since we have to access via Serenity Bay, sorry us only us Kids over 18. Strong swimming skills and comfort in the water is suggested.
WHAT YA NEED TO BRING: Mask, Fins, Snorkel, Swim vest, water temps will be cool so a wet suit might be nice, as we will be in the water for a good while.
THINGS TO CONSIDER: Sun protection and hydrate well before we start
WHATS INVOLVED: A good little ways off shore at Serenity Bay there are the remains of a vessel, not sure what it was during its more seaworthy days. The keel, some ribs, and the engine are there. There is good coral growth, with lots of Caribbean fish hanging out amongst the remains. The visibility here has always been great for us, better than the common snorkeling area.
The wreck lies in about 5-10 ft of water depending upon the tide. It is visible from the shore when the tide is low. On May 15, 2005, the high tide will be 2.7 ft at 12:12 PM, so we maybe able to get a visual reference at 11:00AM or a little before.
This wreck is a ways out there, well past the orange buoys. Average depth is about 8 feet or less the whole way out. This will take about 1.5 hours. Here is a break down, it takes about takes about 30 minutes to swim out to, spend 20-30 minutes exploring the wreck, and 30 minutes to swim back. SO WE WILL BE IN THE WATER FOR QUITE A WHILE. This will really work up a good appetite for lunch at Serenity Bay lunch spot, behind the bar. Good time for a Conch Cooler.
My charts of the area do not show this derelict so it may depend on wither we can see it to find it. Either way it is an adventure.
I think
DCL should make us DIS folks honorary Cruise Directors.
Someone else PMed and said they've had success, too. And my roommate will be able to check on my computer ever few days to make sure there hasn't been a problem and needs to reboot it, so it looks like I'm in good shape. I'll have my dad test it from his house before I leave to make sure I don't need to allow anything via Norton IS.
I'm wishing too!!!
